Pre-Dental

Few medical professions are as integral to the health and welfare of so many people
as that of dentist. Beyond helping keep teeth strong, gums healthy, and smiles wide,
a dentist is also often on the front lines of disease prevention and detection. (After
all, people who haven't seen a doctor in years are still likely to make one or two
visits to the dentist annually.) Like most medical professions, it takes a great deal
of training to become a dentist. Students can start that training now at MTSU.

Delta Delta Sigma

Meeting twice each month during the Fall and Spring semesters, Delta Delta Sigma (DDS)
is a pre-professional organization for students pursuing careers in dentistry and
dental hygiene. Students in the club are introduced to dentists, dental school recruiters,
and dental hygienists, who speak to the club about their experiences and schools and
provide valuable information. DDS is involved in community source projects and takes
trips to dental and dental hygiene schools.

Be Pre-pared

Pre-Scripts is a pre-professional organization for students pursuing careers in the
health sciences. The organization brings in local pharmacists, physicians, physical
therapists, and other health care professionals, as well as representatives of schools
and the armed services, to provide students firsthand insights into the different
health science careers and valuable information about applying for health professional
schools and programs. Pre-Scripts in also involved in community service projects and
organizes trips to professional schools. (The organization meets on the second and
fourth Wednesday of each month.)

Long one of the most respected and necessary of medical professions, dentistry continues
to be a rewarding field in terms of income and flexibility of hours.

For most students, a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree will be required to compete
for acceptance to a dental school. As a result, in the second semester, the student
should consult with his/her advisor to select an appropriate major.

For complete curriculum details, click on the REQUIREMENTS tab above.

Occasionally, a student is accepted into a dental school after three years at MTSU
(for a 3 + 1 program).

Science, Allied Health Science Concentration, B.S.

The Allied Health Science concentration is designed for students who expect to enter a professional school for cytotechnology, chiropractic medicine, pharmacy, or medical laboratory science. It may also be used for students interested in dentistry, medicine, occupational therapy, or physical therapy. However, students interested in these areas should speak to their advisors about other major options.

For some programs, this concentration leads to an MTSU degree through completion of at least 90 credit hours at MTSU, acceptance into a professional school, and either successful completion of one year or completion of the professional program (3+1). A four-year option is available and encouraged for students considering certain programs. For students completing a 3+1 program, a minimum of 21 semester hours of junior and senior (3000- 4000 level) courses must be completed at MTSU. Students choosing a four-year option must complete at least 42 credit hours of junior and senior (3000-4000 level) courses with an average grade of C (2.00 GPA) or better. A minimum of 30 credit hours of junior and senior (3000-4000 level) courses must be completed through MTSU.

Admission to the MTSU pre-professional program does not assure admission to a professional program. Selection for admission is competitive and is made by the admissions committee of the respective program according to its selection standards.
